Wednesday, October 29, 2025 ETF Inflows Climb to $43.5B Industry inflows more than doubled last week, thanks to jumps in flows into world equity funds, bond funds, and commodity funds, according to the latest data from the folks at a mutual fund industry trade group. Today, the Investment Company Institute (ICI) team reports that an esteimated $26.699 billion net flowed into ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds in the week ended October 22. (Money-market funds and funds-of-funds, as well as other asset management products like CITs and separate accounts, are not included.) That's a $15.1699-billion net flows increase week-over-week from the week ended on October 15*, and it extends the industry's inflows streak to 11 weeks. Traditional, long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $16.834 billion in net flows for the week ended October 22, according to the ICI folks, down by $1.913 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $43.533 billion in net inflows last week, up by $13.527 billion W/W. Fixed income dominated industry inflows yet again last week. Per ICI's data, an estimated $14.691 billion net flowed into bond funds and ETFs in the week ended October 22 (up by $3.651 billion W/W). $11.681 billion of that (up by $2.733 billion W/W) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $3.011 billion (up by $919 million W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs. Equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $8.186 billion in net inflows for the week ended October 22 (up by $8.77 billion W/W). Domestic equity funds and ETFs alone suffered $1.048 billion in net outflows last week (down by $318 million W/W), yet world equity funds and ETFs brought in $9.235 billion in net inflows (up by $10.017 billion W/W). Commodity funds (well, ETFs) brought in an estimated $5.323 billion in net inflows for the week ended October 22. That's up by $2.438 billion W/W. On the flip side, hybrid funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $1.502 billion in net outflows for the week ended October 22. That's down by $308 million W/W. *Editor's Note: The ICI folks note that they also regularly revise the past weeks' flows data, "because of adjustments, reclassifications, and changes in the number of funds reporting." Thus, the week-to-week flows changes may not quite line up perfectly with the numbers in MFWire's coverage of prior weeks' flows.
